    I've just read them... pour yourself a large G&T and don't look at it again. They're clearly nasty small-minded idiots.

    Too late for a G&T - it's bedtime. I agree with the small-minded idiots comment. I'm coping - and pleased there is a balanced (sort of!) contribution. But I need to keep looking, just in case one comment goes a bit too far. Then I can be forewarned and fore armed and if necessary, get the website to take it down. Security has been stepped up in these 'ere parts....

    soappie noticed above that you're having a tough time.

    Hi Rach - just same old, same old. People have long and constipated memories in this town and seem to take a delight in having a pop after all these years even when things are now, allegedly, settled in law....

    You've done fantastically well.... but there's a postal strike tomorrow, so unless you've printed off the postage and these will fit in the letter box, you'll just have to hide them in the car (AFTER you've been to the tip!) until the weekend when the strike is over.

    Good luck - I hope everyone is impressed (I hope they've all be helping too!)

    :embarasse

    It was the Living Room (yesterday).

    My sincere apologies MissH. It's rectified now. You need to understand that it's not the REAL Toots doing these things at the moment, it's her slightly incompetant PA. xx

    froddy - hope you feel better soon. You were looking and sounding so much better at the weekend. Maybe you need re-energising.

    Thank you! The weekend was good but then I got back to reality and emails from work people and being in on my own and having no energy and - well, you get the picture! :o Off to a gig tomorrow evening :D though so hoping that will perk me up a bit x

    I suppose I should go to bed now, otherwise i won't get up in time...

    no one has been helping but think i prefer it that way the only problem is i have macie and have to manage her as she has gone really clingy on me! (she keeps calling me mummy too...even though she knows im gran) she has just started nursery about 3 weeks ago which she attends 3 days a week and i have noticed that as much as she loves coming her she tends to around 5 ish which is when she goes home keeps mentioning mummy and daddy aww bless

    wonder if she is missing them as for example i have her at 7 in the morning til 5 2 days and she is at nursery 9 - 3 the other days

    off to bed now
    ds just picked up (by me) from his first u18 disco or whatever you call them

    all well as i was really worried about letting him go but he rang 1/2 hour before the end saying he had a good time but was ready to leave!! the cherub:A:A:A

    bed now night all xxxx
